Let Me In!

Posted by Russ Devan (New Hanover, United States) on 30 August 2009 in Animal & Insect.

I found this little guy sitting pool-side while I was relaxing in our pool one afternoon. It's not uncommon for me to find frogs in our pool every so often. When I do, I scoop them up in a net and return them to the small stream behind our house. I can't for the life of me understand why they prefer a pool full of chlorine to a quiet babbling stream.

"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."
